Chapter 1141: Gathering Information
osure before, but they were moved later. As for where they were transferred to, we haven't found out yet because the time frame is too short."This time, I'm here to remind Captain Eaglewing that we ne...Liàn Yī watched the newly arrived silver dragon magnetic levitation car with awe. Her understanding of interstellar wealth had reached a new level, but she thought about it and still dialed up Kóujī's video call, ready to consult.
"Ripple, how was your rest these past two days"
As soon as the video call connected, Lian Ri saw Kou Ji's face covered in a face mask, along with the other person's cheerful greeting.
"Not bad, the academy takes good care of me. How about you How are things going"
Ripple asked with a smile.
“This time I really made my family proud, especially my parents. They were overjoyed! Knowing that Hong Wenrou had withdrawn from the assessment early and that I fought to the end with my comrades, they were even more pleased. They rewarded me with a lot of things, all the things I’d been eyeing but hadn't bought before.”
Kouki is no longer as tsundere and awkward as she was when they first met, and she speaks to Rin much more casually now.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations."
"I happen to have something I want to ask you."
"Ask me anything. "
I live in the dormitory on campus, but I also received many gifts, both food and necessities. But someone even gave me a brand-new magnetic levitation car, and I'm a little hesitant to accept it.
“Oh, I thought it was something big! Just take it. The ones who should be giving gifts are the parents of the examinees we rescued. They are giving you gifts as a thank you. If you don't accept their gifts, they will feel uneasy. These adults tend to overthink things.”
Koji said nonchalantly.
I understand. You just want to use these things to repay the favor Ripple owes you, afraid that she will take advantage of you later and make excessive demands.
"Alright, then I'll take it. It's exactly what I need. I just need a cultivation chamber now."
The ripples spoke as if by chance.
"Don't worry about buying the Cultivation Chamber for now. There was an accident during this assessment, so there will likely be a make-up exam. They'll also compensate the examinees, considering that a candidate was seriously injured before."
Kouki's news was still pretty good, she said to Ripple while wiping the face mask off her face.
"Are you saying the examinee was injured by Dragon Wrap Grass"
"Hmm!"
That should be compensated for, but I wasn't hurt.
Ripple stroked his face and said.
"You weren't hurt because you're capable, were you Any of us in the squad who get injured Just you wait, when it comes to compensation time, everyone will be more eager than ever."
Koji pursed her lips and smiled.
"What about you Do you also want a cultivation chamber"
Ripple asked curiously.
"Yes, and I want the military-grade one, the kind that's more advanced than what you find on the market."
Kouki said with longing in her face.
"That must be very expensive! I'm so embarrassed."
The ripples pretended to be reserved.
It's nothing to be embarrassed about. The First Academy is a cooperative partner in the production of cultivation chambers, so we have this convenience.
"Okay, I hear you."
Ripple immediately said, since there was someone to keep her company, she might as well be bold once.
Now Koji had wiped her face clean and immediately boasted:
Ripples, look, how is my skin
"Fair and delicate, smooth as porcelain, rosy and lustrous."
Words of praise flow from her lips effortlessly.
"Haha! I agree. This is my mom's high-end skincare product, very expensive. She only uses it once a month. This time was because I did well, so she let me use it."
Kouji smiled a toothless smile and said.
"I see, so you still have your reasons."
"Uh-huh, you're right."
The two chatted idly for a few more moments before Lianyi hung up the video call.
It's a good thing she contacted Kaji, otherwise, she wouldn't have known about the academy's plans. This way, she could save herself a lot of Federation credits.
Since she already has her own flying car, she needs to learn how to drive it. Although there's autonomous driving, what if an accident happens She'd still need to take the wheel herself.
So, she activated her hover car, set it to autopilot first, then went to the First Academy's open-to-the-public driving institution to sign up. She planned to get her driver's license first before anything else.
Little Six was even more excited than Ripples. As soon as she got onto the hovercar, she immediately connected to the hovercar's driving system and thoroughly checked it before excitedly saying:
“Ripple, this hovercar’s hardware passes with flying colors, it’s just the system has some flaws. If you agree, I can update the driving system and give this car a qualitative performance boost.”
"Are you sure changing it this way won't expose you Besides, maglev trains require regular maintenance. Are you sure people won't notice the new system you wrote"
The ripples were like a basin of cold water poured over them.
"Understood. I'll write a hidden program that will only activate in case of an emergency, completely replacing the original system then. This will also prevent your car from being maliciously tampered with, just like that temporary magnetic levitation car you rented before."
Xiao Liu had been bothered ever since the car's destination was tampered with, nearly causing Ripples to fall into the hands of the anti-alliance organization.
"Alright, since you're so confident, I won't stop you. But at least let me pass my driving test first."
After that, Lian Yi took a day to take her driving test.
On the third day at noon, Teacher Rand led two acquaintances to Ripples' temporary residence.
Lian Ri looked at Emil, Lance, and an unfamiliar beautiful woman. She cleared her throat and asked:
"Two officers, what can I do for you"
We have some questions for you, is that alright
Emil smiled and said.
"May I say that's not convenient"
Ripple asked back, and then invited a group of four into the dormitory.
The wind was lying on the cushion by the window basking in the sun. Seeing that guests had arrived, it turned its head and glanced at the four of them. After receiving Ripples's hint "it's nothing," it turned back and continued to bask in the sun with its eyes half-closed.
Randy had never seen a tornado before, so instinctively, he shot out a psychic thread towards the black cat, but the tornado swatted it away with its paw. Then, the tornado stood up and glared at Randy, looking somewhat displeased. The atmosphere was awkward for a moment.
"Sorry!"
Randy's spiritual thread was bounced back, realizing the power of the whirlwind, he immediately apologized.
"It's okay, Cyclone is more shy."
The ripples walked past and embraced the whirlwind, giving it a superficial reason.
Emil and Lance both sighed inwardly. Randy was too impulsive; attacking the other's beast right away wasn't a good start, making it harder to initiate conversation afterward. Ripples wasn't an ordinary orphaned girl.
Land also frowned, but he was speaking to his daughter. His daughter was too reckless; she underestimated the other girl because of her young age, and ended up embarrassing herself in the process.
Ripple smoothed down Whirlwind's fur before speaking,
Who has questions
"Cough, I captured two people at the secret base on Star Assessment before. One of them was injured in the eye by you, remember"
Emil asked.
Remember.
“We interrogated him, and he confessed to some issues.”
"Is this about me"
Ripple asked.
"Yes, they infiltrated Star Assessment this time to kill you."
"Is that so That's how I'm certain I can't be used by them, so they intend to destroy me completely."
Ripples said she wasn't surprised, then apologized.
It's a pity that it implicated classmates who participated in the assessment together.onghu Mountain doesn't keep idle people around. He should be contributing to the sect by now.""Isn't it a bit too early"The headmaster is a little worried.It's getting late, he's already an adult.Ripp...
